one week has passed. gone are the days when you break your fast earlier in the day (people in the southern hemisphere, rejoice! your time will come!). at the mo’, maghrib is pretty much just like malaysia. i know what it is like to fast in spring, many moons ago. perhaps relocating to australia in a few years would be a good idea?

also, my poor version of a social calendar up to now has seen the weekends packed with iftar do’s. alhamdulillah, and keep them invites coming in!
